[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia.md) / [San Severo](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia/san-severo.md), June 12, 2004

Michele Santarelli led with 37.9% of the vote, 15.3 points ahead of Gianfranco Antonio Luigi Savino.

> Results are by municipality, from the Interior Ministry's open data file for this round of municipal elections; where the file reports polling sections, they are summed by municipality. No candidate won an absolute majority, so the top two went to a runoff on the second Sunday after (TUEL art. 72); the runoff date is that rule's, as the open data gives only the first round's date.
